Hellgate Guru and Hellgate: London Downtime
Hello everyone! No doubt you’ve all noticed that the Hellgate: London servers are down. This is due to the fact that the subscription function on HellgateLondon.com wasn’t working earlier. In order to allow the Halloween event to proceed as planned, Flagship Studios decided to open it up to all players, not just subscribers. The servers for the game went down for this maitenance around 9 PM ET or so. While the estimate was that the fix would take about a quarter hour, it has clearly taken longer as the servers have not resumed service. Additionally, HellgateLondon.com has been intermittently offline since the servers went down.
When this happened, HellgateGuru.com saw the most activity it has ever seen in its two and a half years of operation. The forum activity was so overwhelming that it crashed our servers and forced the site offline. Citizen, the fellow who operates our servers, came to our aid and righted the site. However, it went down again when the population nearly hit 2300 users. He brought the server up again but had to close the forums for the time being while the servers are made to withstand the onslaught of traffic we’re seeing tonight.
I want to express my deep appreciation for everyone’s patience and understanding while we try our damnedest to bring your Guru back to you all. Until the forums are up, I will keep the front page of Hellgate Guru updated with the latest information on the Hellgate: London server status. Happy Halloween to every Hellgater out there and hope to see you in-game very soon.
UPDATE:
HellgateGuru.com has successfully moved to its new servers! The forums are up and running again. Thanks to Citizen for making this happen to and every Guru out there for your patience!
